Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Problems with using less Post 302354326 by z1dane on Thursday 17th of September 2009 08:41:05 PM

So finally I have found a solution.

It turns out that my default shell was set to csh, which is related to another thread I started https://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-que...#post302354325.

I asked the system admin to change the passwd file, so that my default shell was bash. So now less works again.

So there was something strange happening with my default shell and less.
